2025 Season Preview: Hinds Baseball

Story from Hinds CC:
RAYMOND, Miss. – The Hinds Community College Baseball team will open their season on Saturday February 1st with a 9-inning contest with NCAA D-III institution Belhaven University at Trustmark Park in Peal, MS. The Eagles caught an offensive spark late in the season to earn a spot in the Region XXIII Play-In Series at Northwest Mississippi CC in Senatobia. Hinds handled business and took the series in two games to advance to the Region XXIII Tournament and had a tough challenge as they lost to #1 Pearl River CC and #2 East Central CC.
On the mound, the Eagles will rely heavily on veterans Matthew Azordegan, Dawson Muenzenmay, Braden Richardson, transfer Reed McCrillis, Kylan Landers, Charles Chisolm, Carson Reed, Ford McDaniel, Connor Whatley, Jack Collins, and Thomas Nichols. The Eagles Coaching staff hit the recruiting trail and brought in nine true freshmen to close out the 2025 pitching staff, which include Ethan Ross, Amzie Cochran, Jacob Galloway, Sam Stumph, Ethan Keen, Cade Fairley, Reid Gaston, Cole Stumph, and Calvin Robinson,
Behind the plate, the Eagles has four athletes that can play catcher which include transfer RJ Brown, freshman Aiden Swales, freshman Thomas Azlin, and freshman Ethan Keen.

Hinds’ 51-game schedule features 27 home games, 18 road contests and 6 neutral-site matchups.
Head Coach Dan Rives stated, “We are incredibly excited to get this season underway, as we will learn a lot about our team in the early going. This team has been very tight knit since day one and it has been very evident in our team chemistry to this point. We have a good mix of returners that can lean heavily on their experience as freshmen, as well as a talented group of newcomers that provide a lot of competition on both sides of the ball. This group has had a very blue-collar work ethic throughout the fall and early spring, and we are ready to see our guys play another opponent.”
